minimum 1 page

My brother has autism and I have been curious about potential treatments for autism and the current research that’s going. (Please talk about the current research involving stem cells, chromosomes and how biomedical engineering plays into it and the quest to find treatment for autism and other treatments)

Please find below my common app essay and my main motivation for pursuing biomedical engineering and scientific research to find cure for autism and other diseases with no known cure. ( I want the essay to be as emotional as possible)

My Hero
While most people will choose a celebrity or famous author as their hero, my hero is my 12-year-old brother, Deshawn. He continues to teach me the value of life and normalcy each day and the experience has been both humbling and empowering. Deshawn has autism, and I have watched him struggle with basic activities such as brushing his teeth, dressing or making conversations. Deshawn has few friends because he is unable to respond to social cues: he is either too honest or oblivious to the emotional states of others and as a result, some kids see him as a freak. Still, he manages to smile and attempts to joke every chance he gets. He does not allow people to put him down.
Caring for him is not only physically and emotionally challenging but also financially draining. Recently, my mom had to go back to work after ten years spent caring for Deshawn because dad’s income could no longer support the family. My parents always employ people to care for him when they are not at home although this made a huge dent in our already depleted income. To make matters worse, we often have to hire new baby sitters because most of the people we hire get easily frustrated and leave.
Unfortunately during the summer of my junior year, we ran out of options. We had no one willing or able to care for my brother and mom could not quit working. At the time, I was on the varsity track and a co-captain of the team. I love sports, and I was doing well so you can imagine my reaction when my parents asked me to give up the track to take care of Deshawn so they could work to bring the family’s finances under control. One of the most time consuming parts of caring for my brother was having someone pick him up from the bus and take care of him until my parents got home and I had to do that. I was frustrated; I thought it was unfair that I had to give up my life for him, but I saw and felt the desperation of my parents, and accepted.
It was difficult at first, but with time, I got to experience what life was like for Deshawn. He has a lot of challenges getting through life yet he does not complain. It got me feeling ungrateful because, in comparison, my life is easy. I learned the virtues of humility and empathy, and it became easier to be grateful for the things I did not appreciate before. The experience motivated me to work hard without complaining and to the present day, saying yes to my parents’ request has been the best decision I ever made.
During the time I spent with him, I noticed Deshawn’s passion for trains. He spends hours designing trains, tunnels and train stations using computer apps and he often asks me to help him when he tries to build them in our garage. He is curious about engines and how trains work, and he obsessively researches on the mechanisms of electricity because he wants to utilize it to power his engines. These projects have spiked my interest in engineering, and I find myself eager to learn more. Although Deshawn is great at making computer generated models, I worry that he will never fulfill his dream in real life because of his disability.
I want to pursue engineering; so I can help my brother reach his potential. The engineering program would allow me to gain all the necessary knowledge in engineering so that in time, I can transfer these skills to my brother and help him design and build feasible projects. Deshawn taught me to appreciate life in ways I never thought possible, and it would be my absolute joy to help him experience his dreams practically.

Evidence Based Public Health

Read “Evidence-Based Public Health – A Fundamental Concept for Public Health Practice” by Brownson, et al., 2009, located in the Reading & Study folder for this module/week. Discuss the following points in your initial thread. Review the discussion board instructions before posting your initial thread.

• What is evidence-based public health (EBPH), and why does it matter?
• Compare and contrast the analytical tools of EBPH (systematic reviews, public health surveillance, economic evaluation, health impact assessment, and participatory approaches).
• In what ways do systematic reviews provide better evidence on which to base intervention decisions than personal experience? Why should qualitative data from community members be considered in the mix of evidence when planning a community-based intervention
• How does Christianity blend historical reviews and personal experience as credentials of its authenticity?

Emergency Manger at A Hospital

I have a discussion question about a course that I just finish, I will give you three different answers of classmates so u can take a look at them and paraphrase really good answers

by the way I work as an emergency manger at a hospital.

question

Use this discussion board to share 2 – 3 insights you have gained from this course and how you think they may apply to your field of work. ?

please google the terms in their answers so u can get some ideas about them before writing the answer.

answer 1

In this course, using the FIRM model has given me the insight that internal and external risks can be very important. Having a firm grasp of external risk is important for organizations. Some of the hazards that an organization believes are being handled for their risk might actually be exposing to the organization due to external interactions and reactions. From engaging with these course materials I might consider several approaches of external risk, or how risks synergize. The other thing that I found insightful was risk exposure. Not only is it critical to identify risks and classify them, it is also important to understand how they might affect the organization. There is likelihood and magnitude to account for, and each should be considered in a very grounded and comprehensive way. Understanding risk exposure means that when I work with Saudi Red Crescent Society, I need to provide sufficient information about the impacts of procedures and the risks that people undertake when learning and performing them. I have to consider the ways in which the probability of incidents might be essential information if I am training others. I cannot train anyone without warning them in a realistic way.

answer 2

Good morning everyone, we have reached the end of the course. This course was extremely informative to say the least. I think that the models we read, analyzed and wrote about have opened up my eyes to a whole different side of disaster prevention in the business sector via risk management. Starting with the characterization of types of risk, following with the rating and efforts to resolve them before they result in catastrophic events, all of these controls are vital. Secondly, understanding the likelihood and magnitude via an effective risk management analyzes will also prevent a business, corporation or agency from costly mishaps or in extreme circumstances, closing their doors. Lastly, I really enjoyed diving deep into the several models we had to read. The FIRM scorecard, PESTLE and Bow-tie models. All of these models can be utilized as tools in almost every scenario and can be used as the ICS system, in the sense that it can be expanded or contracted to fit most needs. For all of the reasons given about, this course has allowed me to dive into a new discipline of risk management that is not hands-on. My line of work is direct response, as such, I often don’t think about prevention. Good luck with your future educational endeavors.

answer 3

When I first started this class, I only had a minimal understanding of risk management and only knew it in the industry of sales (I worked in an Office Depot awhile ago and that was the first time hearing about the topic). The biggest takeaway from this course I have learned over the past 8 weeks was the 8Rs and 4Ts of risk management in addition to the FIRM and PESTLE models. The 8Rs improve the efficiency of the organization, decrease hazards, control internal and external risks, and demonstrate opportunity to allow for positive outcomes for both staff and consumers. As a healthcare professional, risk management is part of my daily job responsibilities. From avoiding daily hazards to keeping my patients safe, it is critical to recognize, identify, and control risks before they increase magnitude. The FIRM and PESTLE models, while I may not deal with them directly, are used by the hospital’s risk management team to identify and prevent risks. However, if this is not possible, a plan of handling risks before they increase in severity is put into place.

Now I have a better appreciation for risk management and how it plays a role in everyone’s job regardless of industry. In the future, if I do seek and obtain a position in management, I will apply the topics covered in this class when coming up with risk planning and working on ways to prevent accidents and disasters while keeping customers and employees safe. Good luck to everyone with their educational studies!
